+/**
+ * Anchors the drawables that only Dart names, so the Android build cannot
+ * decide they are unused.
+ *
+ * These icons are handed to `audio_service` as plain strings
+ * (`MediaControl.custom(androidIcon: 'drawable/ic_auto_eq_on')`) and resolved
+ * at runtime through `getResources().getIdentifier(...)`. Nothing on the
+ * Android side of the build ever mentions them, so as far as the resource
+ * pipeline is concerned they are dead weight — and they were dropped from
+ * every release APK.
+ *
+ * The damage was not a missing icon. `getResourceId` returns 0 for a name it
+ * cannot find, `PlaybackStateCompat.CustomAction.Builder` throws on a 0 icon,
+ * and that throw aborts `AudioService.setState` before the media session is
+ * ever activated. Android Auto was left holding a frozen, inactive session:
+ * dead playback screen, a play button that never became pause, the app losing
+ * its pane to whichever app did have a live session, and audio that played
+ * "as if it were not the app". One absent file, four symptoms, from 31 July
+ * (commit 2540556) until this.
+ *
+ * Verified rather than assumed. Pulling the installed APK off the device and
+ * reading its resource table showed `ic_stat_pluriwave` present and both
+ * equalizer icons absent — and `ic_stat_pluriwave` is the one drawable of the
+ * three that Kotlin references directly (`R.drawable.ic_stat_pluriwave`, four
+ * call sites across the alarm notifications). That contrast is the whole
+ * diagnosis: a real `R.drawable` reference survives, a name that exists only
+ * inside a Dart string does not.
+ *
+ * So this object is not defensive tidiness — it is the reference that was
+ * missing. Any future drawable that Dart resolves by name must be added here
+ * AND to the resource guard in `.gitea/workflows/build.yml`, which reads the
+ * built APK's resource table and fails the build if one of them is gone.

+  Protects the drawables that only Dart names from the resource shrinker.
+
+  Flutter's own Gradle plugin turns shrinking on for every release build
+  (FlutterPlugin.kt: `releaseBuildType.isMinifyEnabled = true` and
+  `isShrinkResources = true`), regardless of what app/build.gradle.kts says.
+  The shrinker keeps what it can see referenced — and it cannot see
+  `MediaControl.custom(androidIcon: 'drawable/ic_auto_eq_on')`, because that
+  is a string inside Dart, resolved at runtime via
+  `getResources().getIdentifier(...)`. So it removed both equalizer icons
+  from every release APK.
+
+  The consequence was not a blank button. `getResourceId` returns 0 for a
+  name it cannot resolve, `PlaybackStateCompat.CustomAction.Builder` throws
+  on a 0 icon, and that throw aborts `AudioService.setState` before the media
+  session is activated — leaving Android Auto with a frozen, inactive
+  session. Dead playback screen, play that never became pause, the app losing
+  its pane to any app with a live session, and audio playing "as if it were
+  not the app". One shrunk file, four symptoms, from 31 July (commit 2540556).
+
+  Proven, not assumed: the installed APK was pulled off the device and its
+  resource table read. `ic_stat_pluriwave` was present, both equalizer icons
+  were not — and `ic_stat_pluriwave` is the only one of the three that Kotlin
+  references as a real `R.drawable`, from the alarm notifications. A genuine
+  reference survives shrinking; a name living in a Dart string does not.
+
+  ANY new drawable that Dart resolves by name must be listed here, and in the
+  resource guard in .gitea/workflows/build.yml, which reads the built APK's
+  resource table and fails the build if one of them went missing.
